Rejuvenate Mind and Body this Spring with Wild Dunes® Resort's "Reju-vacation" Packages
Wild Dunes Resort Introduces Wellness Travel Packages for Today’s Vacationer
CHARLESTON, SC – As the number of Americans looking for ways to calm their increasingly stressful lives rises dramatically, Wild Dunes Resort – just minutes away from historic Charleston, S.C. – offers the opportunity to rejuvenate the mind, body and soul this spring. The introduction of Reju-vacation packages will offer much-needed respite to the increasing number of travelers who are looking for ways to cope with stress – all while enjoying the natural beauty of the Isle of Palms.
A recent American Psychological Association survey shows that nearly half of all Americans believe their stress has increased over the past five years, contributing to health problems, poor relationships and lost productivity. At the same time, the number of people looking for vacations that incorporate fitness, yoga, spas and other wellness activities are expected to increase by more than 150 percent, according to Agoda.com, an independent online travel company.
"It's clear that our visitors are feeling more pressure in their day-to-day lives and are looking for ways to rejuvenate," said Terri A. Haack, Vice President and Managing Director of Wild Dunes Resort. "Wild Dunes has always offered a variety of activities and services that focus on health and wellbeing, and over the last couple of years we've noticed that our guests have started to couple these activities in their vacations in order to have a more comprehensively rejuvenating getaway. Seeing this, we decided to make it even easier for them by pre-packaging the activities together in special, new health packages."
In addition to its top-rated golf courses and tennis courts, Wild Dunes Resort offers guests opportunities to enjoy kayaking trips, eco-tours, yoga, bicycling on miles of trails, personal training sessions, golf and tennis lessons and countless other activities. Such physical activities are the type that a majority of Americans – more than 50 percent – say they prefer as a way to manage stress.
Beginning this January (available through May 2008), several distinct "Reju-vacation packages" focused on pampering, soothing and rejuvenating the mind, body and soul at Wild Dunes Resort, including:
